The Nepali Embassy in Seoul has appealed to the Nepalis in South Korea to take necessary precautions to prevent themselves from the novel coronavirus outbreak.
In a statement released by the embassy today, it has advised Nepalis in Korea to stay alert and to seek immediate medical attention if anyone is suspected of the infection.
